  • Champion the practical adoption of AI across the studio, evaluating, integrating, and scaling AI tools and workflows within live BIM and computational design processes.
  • Strengthen the studio’s AI and Visualization capabilities, two key areas of growth, and building the talent and tooling to support them.
  • Stay hands-on: develop and review custom tools, scripts, and plugins across Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, and related platforms, and contribute directly to complex or high-priority deliverables.[SS4.1]
  • Work with the office BIM Manager to establish and evolve standards, templates, and digital assets, and ensure robust interoperability between design and BIM environments (e.g. Rhino.Inside.Revit and IFC-based exchanges).
  • Lead the process to embed new methods and workflows into the projects, providing direct technical support on high-priority and complex work.
  • Collaborate with the global Design Technology team to align workflows, share tools, and contribute to firm-wide standards.
  • Lead the Copenhagen Model Shop and Sustainability teams, with scope for the role to grow across these areas over time.
  • Plan resourcing, prioritize across multiple projects, and represent design technology in studio decision-making.

Required Skills & Experience
  • 10+ years of professional experience in design technology, computational design, or a related technical field, including experience leading or mentoring a team.Proven ability to lead and drive change in a large, fast-paced creative or technical environment, a doer who leads from the front.
  • Strong proficiency in Rhino, Grasshopper, and scripting with Python and/or C#.
  • Experience with version control (Git) and structured development and deployment practices.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, APIs, or web-based tool development.
  • Solid command of Revit and BIM workflows, including experience with Rhino.Inside.Revit, Dynamo, Speckle, or similar interoperability tools.
